3D Printed Droobot - Bristled Robot

Kevin Osborn, an independent consultant engaged in software development, electronics and product prototyping, and maker workshops, decided he wanted to use 3D printing to jazz up the venerable bristlebot. Inspired by Mark Peeters' clever idea for making lacy fibrous flowers using an FDM 3D printer, Osborn came up with the idea to 3D print his bristlebot using a similar technique, taking advantage of what is typically regarded as a weakness in FDM printing methods in the need for support structures.

Thanks for the nice writeup. I'm looking forward to seeing what other people do with this. One thing that's very easy is to import the STL into tinkercad and add your own heads and tails.
I already think they look a little like viking ships with oars. Anyone up to makeing a dragon prow?
